Creating Recovery Ready Academic Communities

In the 1970s, Deans of Students in the area decided to start regular meetings to capitalize on the number of institutions of higher learning in the Delaware Valley. Also it seemed then, as it does now, that many of the same issues that these folks were struggling with, administrators from other campuses were facing also. The Deans would have lunch meetings throughout the academic year and discuss relevant topics and the responses of the individual campuses. In the mid-70s, it was decided by the membership of this group to open up these meetings to a variety of student affairs professionals in the local region at various levels, thus the Delaware Valley Student Affairs Conference was born in 1975.
